I love the idea of an ‘island getaway’ with nothing but palm trees, sea and sand. Why not bring that vacation to your home with the ‘Tropical Punch’ furnishings collection at The One?
For a Bahamas beach house feel pair a fresh palette of white, soft turquoise and taupe with a cocktail of bright accent colours with a mix of natural materials of exotic floral, parrots and palm trees.
When it comes to coastal living, think comfort and keep fabrics mostly light and natural with textural appeal. Go for a generously cushioned sofa in pristine white cotton, an inviting wingback chair in linen-like taupe upholstery and a pair of stitched leather stools in dark brown, for contrast.
Perch them all on a golden sand-coloured rug along with an informal yet cleverly functional dark wood coffee table, featuring three removable oak trays.
Give a few more nods to nature with a bamboo bowl, papyrus-inspired paper wall art and cloud white cotton curtains, to billow gently in the sea breeze.
Nothing says Bahamas quite like a few lush palm trees, a bunch of bright orange flowers, a couple of pineapples and a parrot or cockatoo (albeit only a statue). Brighten up your sofa with two beautiful botanical-style cushions and you’ll have the look down pat.
Finally, finish off this cool, calm and collected seaside scene with some fab faux coral and seashells and start living the beach life without the sandy mess.
